Venue: University of Jyväskylä<br /><br /><p><strong>Call for abstracts&nbsp;: The West Network</strong></p>
<p>International multidisciplinary conference</p>
<p>University of Jyv&auml;skyl&auml;, Finland</p>
<p>June 5-7, 2019</p>
<p><strong>Deadline for abstracts : January 21st, 2019</strong></p>
<p>The West Network, an international and multidisciplinary research network coordinated from the Department of History and Ethnology at the University of Jyv&auml;skyl&auml;, is organizing its 2nd international conference titled:</p>
<p><strong>THE END OF WESTERN HEGEMONIES?</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p>If we look at &lsquo;the West&rsquo; as a group of states, we can say it has been globally hegemonic in many areas of life, such as scientific innovation, the economy and consumption, military force, medicine, technological development, press freedom, political regimes and ideology. In addition, there are views according to which the West has imposed its own vision of the world by having hegemony over the production of knowledge in intellectual domains, such as philosophy, political science, and sociology, the West has imposed its own vision of the world. This is how the &lsquo;Western paradigm&rsquo; has been built. Adopting this paradigm has long been held as a global criterion of success. However, as long as there have been Western hegemonies, there have been contestations of them.</p>
<p>History did not end in the triumph of Western liberal democracy, and there are societal developments in the US and Europe that are seen as undermining (the unity of) the West. It is feared that the era of Donald Trump will disengage the US from the Western and global political arenas. The imminent separation of Britain from the European Union is raising concerns about the unity of Europe. The overall rise of right-wing populism is seen to jeopardize such core Western values as internationalism, liberalism and solidarity. Increasing individualism and identity politics, racism, toxic masculinity, unemployment or a lost sense of purpose are seen to erode Western society from the inside by dividing people into different sides of cultural wars.</p>
<p>Moreover, the so-called emerging countries, China in their lead, are often seen as a threat to Western geopolitical, economic and cultural hegemonies, if not to the contemporary world order. Western military ventures have been seen as the source of deep fractures, not only between the West and other countries, but also within non-Western societies, since they have helped to cause the rise of militant Islam and the unleashing of wars in these countries. This interventionism, however, has not been without consequences in the West as well, for these wars have caused flows of refugees, and brought crowds of immigrants into Western countries. This situation has fueled further political conflict within Western societies whose people debate about the nature of Western civilization and its role in helping others.</p>
<p>Will the &lsquo;non-West&rsquo;, the emerging countries, or China surpass the West? If so, in which areas of life? Can the West hold on to its hegemonies in science, liberal democracy, economy, civil liberties, and the military sphere? Or is it bound to become one of many equal players - or a relic - in a new multi-polar world order? At the same time, the West - and all of humankind - is developing further in terms of technology, health, human rights, democracy and peace, and many think there is no reason to believe the West would lose its hegemonies.</p>
<p>If one holds that the West is mainly an imagined community, one can doubt that it ever could have exercised any concrete domination. One can thus easily problematize the basic concepts of &lsquo;the West&rsquo; as well as its &lsquo;hegemonies&rsquo;. In contrast, the very notion of hegemony invites explorations in specific areas in which one can postulate a hegemonic or dominating position of the West, today or in the recent past. If one accepts that the West enjoyed a strong leadership in certain domains, one may ask why and how it occurred. Or one might, enquire about the present and future of this domination. Will it come to a close? If so, why and how - politically, culturally, socially or narratively?</p>

Venue: Unknown<br /><br /><p>Join us at the Central APA in Denver for a unique opportunity! For the first time, the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women is an affiliated group of the APA and is hosting its first APA session. This session will bring the philosophical arguments and themes of early modern women (especially on political theory and practice, theories of justice, oppression, normative theories, and philosophy of action) in conversation with those of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.</p>
<p>The content of the joint session is broadly construed, but with an eye toward contributions that draw from, or are indebted to, the work of early modern women and Dr. King. Differences and similarities will be discussed in view of historical and contemporary lenses. Contributions that integrate current political realities are especially encouraged.</p>

Venue: Via Is Mirrionis 1<br /><br /><p>University of Cagliari (IT) is delighted to announce that the conference Comparing Philosophical Traditions: Selfhood, Historicity and Representation between Hermeneutics and Pragmatism will be held on 14th, 15th and 16th March 2019 at the Department of Pedagogy, Psychology andPhilosophy, Cagliari (IT). The conference is part of the activities of the Interuniversity Research Center on Pragmatism, Construction of Knowledge and Education (http://host.uniroma3.it/centri/pcf/) and Pragma Cultural Association (<a href="http://www.associazionepragma.com">www.associazionepragma.com</a>), anditis supported by the Foundation of Sardinia / The Region Sardinia (National Research Programme on &lsquo;Science and its Logic: The Representation Dilemma&rsquo;, FdS/RAS 2016).</p>
<p>The function of representation, which plays a bridge role between factual dimension and interpretative construction of the past in historical knowledge, is a theme of particular interest within socio-anthropological and philosophical fields concerning individual and collective identity. This is an interdisciplinary domain thatat a different level concerns researches related to the theory and practice of make history, the interpretation of historical facts and studies in the philosophy of human action.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Representation comes into play even around the subjective and inter-subjective dynamics related to the processes of auto-reflection and personal realization, as well as in relation with all processes of social interaction, communication and knowledge (of the others and the world). It exercises a specific function in the cultural, social and scientific construction and sharing of knowledge and values.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p>The conference aims to bring to dialectical confrontation two distinguished traditions of thought, pragmatism and hermeneutics, with the leading aim of deepening and critically addressing the various aspects implicated in the field of historical knowledge and philosophical anthropology. Contributors can consider both the 'theoretical' and 'practical' side, with the aim of identifying elements of proximity, critical aspects and potential new developments.</p>

Venue: Unknown<br /><br /><p>The <em>Kant-Readings</em> International Conference has taken place in Kaliningrad every five years since 1974. This 2019 conference aims at investigating the ethical conceptions of the Enlightenment from the perspective of Kant&rsquo;s philosophy. Enlightenment ethics focused on traditionally important notions for human beings, such as happiness and moral goodness, and influenced not only their epoch but the following centuries until today. In spite of the fact that all these doctrines were founded on different moral concepts like moral sense, reason, or God, they equally searched for a justification of <em>duty</em> and of the possibility of moral motivation. Moreover they raised the question of the relation between morality and politics, education, and coercion. What, if any, are the common features that characterise ethical doctrines during the Enlightenment? Are there sufficiently similar features in the various ethical doctrines of Kant&rsquo;s day that would warrant the title of &lsquo;Enlightenment ethics&rsquo;? It is not less important to understand the ethical content and significance of the Enlightenment project itself and to answer the question of whether the project of enlightenment still can be rationally defended.</p>
<p>Kant&rsquo;s ethics directly relates to the various conceptions of enlightenment put forward by his immediate predecessors in Germany, Great Britain, and France, such as Wolff, Rousseau, Shaftesbury, Hutcheson, Hume, and others. We are interested in understanding the moral aims of the Enlightenment, and the role of Kant&rsquo;s philosophy in how the enlightenment project extends beyond its initial epoch. How has Kant&rsquo;s moral philosophy been received and criticised, and how has it influenced the evolution of enlightenment thought in other countries, especially in Russia? To what extent can Kant&rsquo;s philosophy be fruitful for thinking about ethics and enlightenment in our time?What can Kantian philosophy offer to address the current and prospective challenges, produced by technological advancement?</p>
<p>The conference will be structured into the following sections:</p>
<p>1. History of Enlightenment Ethics</p>
<p>2. Enlightenment and Kantian Ethics in Russian Thought</p>
<p>3. Enlightenment Ethics and Aesthetics in Correlation</p>
<p><a name="__DdeLink__79_2136671715"></a> 4. Kant&rsquo;s Ethics in Neo-Kantianism</p>
<p>5. Enlightenment, Politics, and Education</p>
<p>6. Science, Technology, and Enlightenment Ethics</p>
<p>7. Kant and Radical Enlightenment (section organized by <em>The Contemporary Kantian Philosophy Project</em>,directed by Robert Hanna)</p>
<p>Hanna writes: By &ldquo;radical enlightenment,&rdquo; we mean any epistemic, metaphysical, metaphilosophical, aesthetic, scientific, moral, social, or political interpretation of Kant&rsquo;s injunction to &ldquo;dare to know,&rdquo; or &ldquo;dare to think for oneself&rdquo; (<em>Sapere aude!</em>), that is <em>more </em>progressive &mdash; or &ldquo;further left&rdquo; &mdash; than classical Hobbesian or Millian liberalism, or contemporary neoliberalism. The theme of this section comprehends any topic in Kant&rsquo;s or Kantian philosophy that explores its positive or negative relationship to radical enlightenment in this sense, with a special interest in exploring the implications and/or significance of that topic for contemporary issues.</p>
<p>The conference languages are Russian, English, and German.</p>https://philevents.org/event/show/66046[ April 30, 2019] CFP for conference or similar: History, Progress, Critiquehttps://philevents.org/event/show/69982
<p><strong>History, Progress, Critique </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>3rd Istanbul Critical Theory Conference</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>in Exile at the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg </strong></p>
<p><strong>12-14 September 2019</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>The relationship between historical analysis and critical social praxis has been one of the central concerns of Critical Theory since its beginnings. For critical theorists historical analysis plays a key role in identifying immanent social forces and potentials as resources for a <em>better society</em>, i.e. for social and moral progress. While it was sufficient for the first generation of critical theorists to adopt a non-vulgarized version of historical materialism &ndash; perhaps with a Nietzschean &lsquo;genealogical proviso&rsquo; &ndash; as a method of analysis, the experiences of the Second World War and the Holocaust made it necessary to radically rethink the naive teleological assumptions inherent in the notion of progress provided by German Idealism and Marxism. Critical Theory found itself confronted with the problem of grounding historical analysis on an alternative conception of philosophy of history. The need to rethink philosophy of history found its first expression in the seminal work of Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer, the <em>Dialectic of Enlightenment</em>. Since then, any substantial reorientation of Critical Theory has required a reassessment of the philosophy of history and its key notions.</p>
<p>This is perhaps the motivation behind Theodor W. Adorno's and Walter Benjamin's engagement with the concept of progress. They were questioning whether the very notion of progress presents an impediment to the <em>radical</em> transformation of society. If so, the concept would need to be transformed itself. A similar question plays a crucial role in the poststructuralist and postcolonial strands of contemporary critical theory. On the one hand, prominent theorists such as Foucault and Derrida have developed their critical perspectives on the rejection of not only rationalist but also structuralist binaries such as traditional/modern, static/dynamic, or progressive/regressive. The poststructural deconstruction of processes of knowledge and subjectivity production has generated transdisciplinary and emancipatory agendas that significantly enhance the scope of critical analysis. On the other hand, critical postcolonial theory has shown how the idea of progress has justified colonial exploitation and domination. The reassessment of the category of modernity, and the subsequent call for methodological self-reflexivity aims at transcending the sometimes narrow and eurocentrist perspective of the Frankfurt School tradition of critical theory. Feminist theory has also opened new perspectives that allow us to critique patriarchal historical narratives that obscure gender differences and promote masculine ideas of progress.</p>
<p>In the light of these challenges, this conference aims at discussing whether and how to hold on to a philosophy of history and a notion of progress that enable critical theory to reflect on its own dependency on historical developments and prevent reifications. We invite all interested scholars to address the following questions:</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Does critical theory need a philosophy of history?&nbsp;</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How should the normative assumptions of critical theory relate to historical experience?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What role does historical experience play or should play in transforming the theory and practice of critique?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How should critical theory re-assess the notion of progress today?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Can genealogy as a historical method be reconciled with a critical notion of progress?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Do we need to de-colonize critical theory&rsquo;s philosophy of history? How is that possible?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Is the notion of progress an impediment to emancipatory transformation? Is critique possible without the notion of progress?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What understanding of temporality is necessary for a critical theory of history and progress? How do changes in temporal structures under neoliberal conditions affect our critical understanding of history and progress?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What relationship should be established between notions of progress and contemporary political, social, economic and technological structures?</p>

Venue: Ardahan University Yenisey Campus<br /><br /><p>Although, for modern societies, the term &ldquo;myth&rdquo; stands for a tale, an untrue story, a legend, a superstition etc., for archaic societies who existed prior to written culture, myths were narrations of &ldquo;the ultimate origin of reality&rdquo; and, in that respect, they were not tales but true stories based on Reality.[1]&nbsp;Therefore, a great philosopher like Plato appealed to&nbsp;<em>muthos&nbsp;</em>as a pedagogical means for telling his views through the Dialogues. On the other hand, along with the transition from&nbsp;<em>mythopoetic&nbsp;</em>thought to cosmological arguments, an irreversible diffraction occurred in the history of ideas, and philosophy parted ways with mythos for a certain while.[2]&nbsp;Centuries later, however, many theorists in both clinical psychology and contemporary philosophy made use of the myth as a symbolic means of expression and pioneered a &ldquo;mythic-turn&rdquo; in the social sciences. This fact indicates that mythology remains an essential area of interest for humanities like philosophy and psychology. This is also the case for the disciplines of sociology and socio-cultural anthropology, whose practices developed within the framework of rituals, myths, customs and traditions, indicating that myth and mythology have pervaded into daily life, that they have turned into a reference guide, sometimes due to their guiding spirit and sometimes by being a tool for social control.</p>
<p>Throughout historical and cultural processes, human beings have attributed divine meanings to the factors influencing them. By attributing such meanings to natural forces that were superior to them, humans also adopted the habit of symbolization. Furthermore, depending on the geographic and cultural context they were in, humans developed solutions for inexplicable events and/or situations such as illnesses. To specify, humans sought for genuine solutions by means of the daily practices they structured around the myths and legends, which were transmitted to them through cultural heritage.</p>
<p>Legends and symbols are not discoveries that archaic people carried out on their own; rather, they are the products of a cultural whole that is well limited, kneaded and transmitted by some societies. In this way, some of these creations spread to lands far away from their own root-soils, becoming absorbed by the local people of those lands who would not recognize these elements otherwise.[3]</p>
<p>As the interaction between literature and mythology is at stake, a similar picture confronts us in this domain.&nbsp; Myths of several cultures have been shaping modern literary texts, and the characters in these myths have been creating modern stereotypes. The world where the mythological characters of ancient Greece and Rome belong may seem exaggerated for the modern reader. However, when the historical journey of literature is considered, it is understood that myths, initially, provided an inspiration for tragedies. Just like the fates of tragic heroes, the fates of mythical characters are full of circumstances that point towards a &ldquo;moral.&rdquo; From this perspective, it is undeniable that mythology is an essential reference for modern literature.</p>
<p>Within the literary world, almost all writers apply myths, mythical characters and related&nbsp;<em>archetypes&nbsp;</em>that then become woven within the collective unconscious as a means for their literary narrative element for various purposes. Thus, it is difficult to understand&nbsp;<em>Ulysses</em>by James Joyce, who is one of the most prominent writers of English literature, or&nbsp;<em>Oedipa Maas</em>&nbsp;by the American author Thomas Pynchon without the knowledge of classical mythology. As is obvious, mythology plays a crucial and central role in shaping and constructing literary genres, fiction and the relation of characters.</p>
<p>Without the knowledge of mythology and iconography, art history could not be comprehended, nor could art criticism be carried out. Today, mythology is the primary source to which one appeals in order to interpret the works of art ranging from the hunting scenes on the walls of Lascaux to the masterpieces of the Renaissance and the products of eminent artists of various genres from primitivism to cubism.</p>
<p>Certainly, the dance of mythology with other sciences cannot be limited to the abovementioned disciplines and areas. Myths and mythological systems have a peculiar role for each discipline associated with the humanities and social sciences. Based on this fact, as young academicians, we have decided to organize a worldwide symposium and, by doing so, we desire to bring together academicians and students from all areas of study including philosophy, sociology, anthropology, literature, psychology, art history and the fine arts provided that their papers are in direct relation to the theme of the symposium.</p>

<p><strong>The Political Theology of American liberalism: New perspectives on Philosophy of History and Religion.</strong></p>
<p>Submission deadline: June 10, 2019</p>
<p>Conference date:<br> October 7, 2019 &ndash; October 9, 2019</p>
<p><strong>Conference Venue:</strong></p>
<p>Universidad de Valpara&iacute;so&nbsp;<br> Valpara&iacute;so, Chile</p>
<p><strong>Topic areas</strong></p>
<p>Philosophy of Religion</p>
<p>Political Philosophy</p>
<p>Philosophy of History</p>
<p><strong>Details</strong></p>
<p>The subject of American civil religion has been an important object of recent research. At present, there are several works that cover specific aspects, with a lot of detail, about the thought of related authors, philosophers, historians, pastors, and religious movements in the new world, since the time of the colonists, as well as their connection with their European background. However, the task does not seem to be exhausted in an overall vision, which would give a full sense of the phenomenon within the larger framework of a theory, or philosophy of history. A contribution in this direction could begin looking at the work of some of the great theorists of history, like Hegel, Voegelin, or others.</p>
<p>According to Hegel, the Christian principle that founds the sense of self-conscious freedom in the subject is catalyzed by the Reformation, which leads to the modern liberal state as its political and social expression. In more recent times, James Doull has argued that this Hegelian conception of the State as the realization of freedom does not have its most reliable example in Europe, but in America: in Canada and the United States. Could we affirm then&mdash;following Hegel&acute;s philosophy&mdash; that the fulfillment of the reformed spirit, in relation to the State, is not achieved in Europe, but only in the new world, and is consequently a process that is still in development? If so, is the solution that Hegel saw in the figure of the European State&mdash;as the authentic fulfillment of Western civilization&mdash;only the origin of the problem of order in America?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The aim of the conference is to research for new understandings of the philosophy of history and religion, to update the approach of Hegel&mdash;or others&mdash; applied to the American Protestant societies. After Hegel, Voegelin elaborated a theory that contains deep intuitions, which could be articulated in a form which is complementary to Hegel&rsquo;s perspective. Voegelin&acute;s basic hypothesis is that the political <em>ethos </em>of a society is determined by the way its members experience the transcendent realm, or divinity. From this point, a series of questions can be articulated.</p>
<p>How are the terms of the theological disputes introduced by the reform movement during its first phase in Europe updated in the United States? What is the peculiar experience of the divine&mdash;or the transcendent&mdash; that takes place in America? In what way is the freedom of the self-conscious subject carried out in this phase? Is there any sense of historical continuity of the Reformation process itself, from its European to American stage, in relation to the formation of a <em>Political Corpus</em>, like the State? Or is it rather that the experience of the transcendent in America has created a completely new political <em>ethos</em>?</p>
<p>Other questions may also point to methodological problems. According to R.G. Collingwood, history is fundamentally history of thought. Must we reconsider then Hegel&acute;s philosophy of history from the prism of his history of philosophy? Has the development of philosophy in America something to tell us, about the philosophy of American history?</p>

<p>"God is Love." This wager concerning the nature of God - theological in the deepest sense - is generated, not from an idea, but from the experience of the encounter with Jesus Christ, the primordial "sacrament" of the Father.&nbsp; It entails not only a judgment concerning the nature of God himself but a judgment concerning the nature and meaning of reality and of our embodiment. This Love, of which reality is a sign as Jesus is the sign of the Father, is rightly qualified as semper maior, a fact always greater than our ideas and predeterminations. As such, the sign of love always breaks open our contractual logic. This year's summer school will be an attempt think within the horizon of this semper maior, to pose the question of the human as bound up with the Love that is God himself and the world which is the concrete sign of that Love.</p>
<p>For six years our summer school has facilitated a rich and friendly theological, philosophical and cultural dialogue in freedom, in the unique setting of Granada, a breathtakingly beautiful city that lies at the historic crossroads of modernity and the Christian tradition.</p>

<p><strong><em>3rd Istanbul Critical Theory Conference</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>in Exile at the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg </strong></p>
<p><strong>12-14 September 2019</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>The relationship between historical analysis and critical social praxis has been one of the central concerns of Critical Theory since its beginnings. For critical theorists historical analysis plays a key role in identifying immanent social forces and potentials as resources for a <em>better society</em>, i.e. for social and moral progress. While it was sufficient for the first generation of critical theorists to adopt a non-vulgarized version of historical materialism &ndash; perhaps with a Nietzschean &lsquo;genealogical proviso&rsquo; &ndash; as a method of analysis, the experiences of the Second World War and the Holocaust made it necessary to radically rethink the naive teleological assumptions inherent in the notion of progress provided by German Idealism and Marxism. Critical Theory found itself confronted with the problem of grounding historical analysis on an alternative conception of philosophy of history. The need to rethink philosophy of history found its first expression in the seminal work of Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer, the <em>Dialectic of Enlightenment</em>. Since then, any substantial reorientation of Critical Theory has required a reassessment of the philosophy of history and its key notions. </p>
<p>This is perhaps the motivation behind Theodor W. Adorno's and Walter Benjamin's engagement with the concept of progress. They were questioning whether the very notion of progress presents an impediment to the <em>radical</em> transformation of society. If so, the concept would need to be transformed itself. A similar question plays a crucial role in the poststructuralist and postcolonial strands of contemporary critical theory. On the one hand, prominent theorists such as Foucault and Derrida have developed their critical perspectives on the rejection of not only rationalist but also structuralist binaries such as traditional/modern, static/dynamic, or progressive/regressive. The poststructural deconstruction of processes of knowledge and subjectivity production has generated transdisciplinary and emancipatory agendas that significantly enhance the scope of critical analysis. On the other hand, critical postcolonial theory has shown how the idea of progress has justified colonial exploitation and domination. The reassessment of the category of modernity, and the subsequent call for methodological self-reflexivity aims at transcending the sometimes narrow and eurocentrist perspective of the Frankfurt School tradition of critical theory. Feminist theory has also opened new perspectives that allow us to critique patriarchal historical narratives that obscure gender differences and promote masculine ideas of progress. </p>
<p>In the light of these challenges, this conference aims at discussing whether and how to hold on to a philosophy of history and a notion of progress that enable critical theory to reflect on its own dependency on historical developments and prevent reifications. We invite all interested scholars to address the following questions: </p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Does critical theory need a philosophy of history?&nbsp; </p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How should the normative assumptions of critical theory relate to historical experience?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What role does historical experience play or should play in transforming the theory and practice of critique?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How should critical theory re-assess the notion of progress today? </p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Can genealogy as a historical method be reconciled with a critical notion of progress?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Do we need to de-colonize critical theory&rsquo;s philosophy of history? How is that possible?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Is the notion of progress an impediment to emancipatory transformation? Is critique possible without the notion of progress? </p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What understanding of temporality is necessary for a critical theory of history and progress? How do changes in temporal structures under neoliberal conditions affect our critical understanding of history and progress?</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What relationship should be established between notions of progress and contemporary political, social, economic and technological structures?</p>

Since the situation in Turkey has not improved, the conference series continues in Oldenburg as a &ldquo;critical theory conference in exile&rdquo; of sorts.</p>https://philevents.org/event/show/69978[ September 29, 2019 - October 4, 2019] Conference or similar: Hellenic Political Philosophy and Contemporary Europehttps://philevents.org/event/show/64606

<p><strong>The Political Theology of American liberalism: New perspectives on Philosophy of History and Religion.</strong></p>
<p>Submission deadline: June 10, 2019</p>
<p>Conference date:<br> October 7, 2019 &ndash; October 9, 2019</p>
<p><strong>Conference Venue:</strong></p>
<p>Universidad de Valpara&iacute;so&nbsp;<br> Valpara&iacute;so, Chile</p>
<p><strong>Topic areas</strong></p>
<p>Philosophy of Religion</p>
<p>Political Philosophy</p>
<p>Philosophy of History</p>
<p><strong>Details</strong></p>
<p>The subject of American civil religion has been an important object of recent research. At present, there are several works that cover specific aspects, with a lot of detail, about the thought of related authors, philosophers, historians, pastors, and religious movements in the new world, since the time of the colonists, as well as their connection with their European background. However, the task does not seem to be exhausted in an overall vision, which would give a full sense of the phenomenon within the larger framework of a theory, or philosophy of history. A contribution in this direction could begin looking at the work of some of the great theorists of history, like Hegel, Voegelin, or others.</p>
<p>According to Hegel, the Christian principle that founds the sense of self-conscious freedom in the subject is catalyzed by the Reformation, which leads to the modern liberal state as its political and social expression. In more recent times, James Doull has argued that this Hegelian conception of the State as the realization of freedom does not have its most reliable example in Europe, but in America: in Canada and the United States. Could we affirm then&mdash;following Hegel&acute;s philosophy&mdash; that the fulfillment of the reformed spirit, in relation to the State, is not achieved in Europe, but only in the new world, and is consequently a process that is still in development? If so, is the solution that Hegel saw in the figure of the European State&mdash;as the authentic fulfillment of Western civilization&mdash;only the origin of the problem of order in America?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The aim of the conference is to research for new understandings of the philosophy of history and religion, to update the approach of Hegel&mdash;or others&mdash; applied to the American Protestant societies. After Hegel, Voegelin elaborated a theory that contains deep intuitions, which could be articulated in a form which is complementary to Hegel&rsquo;s perspective. Voegelin&acute;s basic hypothesis is that the political <em>ethos </em>of a society is determined by the way its members experience the transcendent realm, or divinity. From this point, a series of questions can be articulated.</p>
<p>How are the terms of the theological disputes introduced by the reform movement during its first phase in Europe updated in the United States? What is the peculiar experience of the divine&mdash;or the transcendent&mdash; that takes place in America? In what way is the freedom of the self-conscious subject carried out in this phase? Is there any sense of historical continuity of the Reformation process itself, from its European to American stage, in relation to the formation of a <em>Political Corpus</em>, like the State? Or is it rather that the experience of the transcendent in America has created a completely new political <em>ethos</em>?</p>
<p>Other questions may also point to methodological problems. According to R.G. Collingwood, history is fundamentally history of thought. Must we reconsider then Hegel&acute;s philosophy of history from the prism of his history of philosophy? Has the development of philosophy in America something to tell us, about the philosophy of American history?</p>

<p><strong><em>Current dynamics of our time</em></strong>&nbsp;<strong><em>highlights a renewed philosophical interpretation of the phenomenon of revolution in its most diverse dimensions &ndash; social, cultural, scientific, technological, and anthropological. In the context of the dynamically changing outlines of contemporary world, it is the analysis of the revolutionary development model that is becoming the key to understanding current trends and phenomena. A revolution might be contrasted to an evolution as an opposing model of changes in science, culture, and society. A choice between them or a comprehended rejection of this alternative facilitates both elucidating the current state of social existence and delineating</em></strong>&nbsp;<strong><em>further ways of its development.</em></strong></p>
